Fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolyme

Over the last decade, selected papers1114 have examined the deposition of fluoropolymers, using RF magnetron sputtering. All of these papers have examined the deposition of PTFE, with some of them2314 also studying the deposition of polyimide (PI) films. This chapter extends these studies and will report on the sputter deposition behavior of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), PVDF (polyvinylidenefluoride), and FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer) films.

Steel [52013-36-2] suture is made from 316-L stainless steel wire. The suture may be monofilament, known as fixation wire, or multifilament twisted wires. The steel is heat-treated to improve ductility. The multifilament strands are either uncoated, or coated with Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) or Teflon-fluorinated ethylene—propylene copolymer.

More recently, modified fluoroplastics such as fluorinated ethylene/propylene copolymer, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, and polyvinylidene fluoride have been offered by DuPont, Allied Chemical, 3M, and Pennwalt respectively, to provide improved processability and mechanical strength at some sacrifice in heat-resistance, electrical properties, and chemical resistance and at prices of 3.70-7.15 these have also been finding appropriate if smaller markets.

Bench-scale tests were conducted to determine design parameters and operability of Che distillation process for the pilot plant. The column, reboller, and condenser used in the bench-scale system were constructed of fiberglass-reinforced ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene. The heat exchangers were spaghetti tube bundles constructed of fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer. [Pg.316]

Screening tests were conducted on potential construction materials. The candidate materials evaluated included the following polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, TFE), fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer (FEP), perfluoroalkoxy-alkanes (PFA), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (E-CTFE), poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These materials were chosen based on cost, availability, and information from manufacturers on compatibility with acid solutions. [Pg.317]

Separation capillary columns are made in fluorinated ethylene- propylene copolymer. Detection is achieved by conductivity cells and an ac. conductivity mode of detection is used for making the separations visible. The driving current is supphed by a unit enabling independent currents to be preselected for the preseparation and final analytical stages. The run of the analyser is controlled by a programmable timing and control unit. The zone lengths from the conductivity detector, evaluated electronically, can be printed on a line printer. [Pg.16]

The separation unit of the capillary isotachophoresis instrument used is shown in Fig. 13.1. A 0.85mm id capillary tube made of fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer was used in the pre-separation (first) stage and a capillary tube of 0.30mm id made of the same material served for the separation in the second stage. Both tubes were provided with conductivity detection cells [18] and an ac conductivity mode of detection [15] was used for making the separations visible. [Pg.223]

Radioisotope detection of P, 14C, and Tc was reported by Kaniansky et al. (7,8) for isotachophoresis. In their work, isotachophoretic separations were performed using fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer capillary tubing (300 pm internal diameter) and either a Geiger-Mueller tube or a plastic scintillator/photomultiplier tube combination to detect emitted fi particles. One of their reported detection schemes involved passing the radiolabeled sample components directly through a plastic scintillator. Detector efficiency for 14C-labeled molecules was reported to be 13-15%, and a minimum detection limit of 0.44 nCi was reported for a 212 nL cell volume. [Pg.61]

Spacecraft flying in LEO are exposed not only to neutral atomic and molecular species, but also high fluxes of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation and relatively low fluxes of ions, both of which might contribute to the degradation of materials present on spacecraft surfaces. ° It has been reported that fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer (FEP Teflon), which is used as a thermal blanketing material, erodes under the combined exposure of VUV light and atomic oxygen, while the erosion by...

Substrate materials included poly (dimethyl siloxane) (SR) (Silastic Rubber, medical grade, Dow Corning), fluorinated ethylene/propylene copolymer (FEP) (Teflon FEP, Dupont), and a segmented copolyether-urethane-urea (PEUU) based on poly (propylene glycol), methylene bis-4-phenylisocyanate, and ethylenediamine. This PEUU was provided by D. J. Lyman. [Pg.220]

A net adsorption value (corrected for any IRS prism contamination) which could be related to calibration curves for surface concentration was obtained from the ratio of the amide I (C=0 stretching) band at 1640 cm to a standard band for each substrate polymer. The standard bands used were the CH bending vibration at 1400 cm for poly (dimethyl siloxane) and the CF2 scissoring deformation at 1450 cm for fluorinated ethylene/propylene copolymer. Because of the amide I band in polyurethanes, a 4X expanded abscissa was used for the other two polymers, the IX scale was sufflcient. [Pg.221]
